Hello Afritunes, I really want to apologise that I am so late this week. I was very interested in posting but a lot came up this week. It's not like I have been preparing for Christmas or anything but things unnaturally came up, you wouldn’t believe.

Anyway, for today’s presentation, I come with a classic that is loved by our great nation Nigeria by the masked singer Lagbaja. His songs are a national treasure and have been there for ages but I began to fall in love with them only 10 years ago. Today I know quite a few of them but I can’t speak Yoruba so I mess the lyrics up. In this video, I did the same thing at the top of my voice in a western state.

Let me know what you think about this acapella.

Lyrics

Hmmm all alone
When i think about the good times that we shared together baby
I cannot understand how we ever let things fall apart hmm
Shipankpala Iyawo o towo osi bobe shipankpala
Uhhhhh all alone
When I think about the good times that we shared together baby
I cannot understand how we ever let things get so bad
Should'nt have let you go
Let you out of my sight baby
Never knew how much I care
Never knew
Wherever I go
Wherever you are
Baby baby you're never far away
You're always on my mind
Shipanpala Iyawo o towo osi bobe shipanpala
When i think of you
All i see is your smiles
I can feel it
From day we'll be together again
Can't wait to see the day
We'll be together again ain ain
Baby baby baby you and I
Let it be sooooo yeah yeah yeah oh oh
Wherever I go
Wherever you are
Baby baby you're never far away
You're always on my mind
Wherever I go
Wherever you are
Baby baby you're never far away
You're always on my mind
Baby baby you're never far away
You're always on my mind
You're never far away
You're always on my mind I wish I wish I never let you go
You're never far away I wish I wish I made you stay right by my side
You're always on my mind baby you're always on my mind
Never far away
You're always on my mind always always always always baby baby
You're never far away
You're always on my mind baby baby
You're never far away
You're always on my mind
Wherever I go
Wherever you are
Baby baby baby baby baby you're you're never far away
You're always on my mind
